THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

A WASHINGTON special states that in the fs-
cal year just ended there have been placed
on the pension rolls $1,000 new pensioners.
This number is larger than IN any one year
since the war except 1866. Not 5000 hene-
fciaries of the Mexican pension bill have been
enrolled. 1t is not deemed improbable that
next year will see -, 600 new pensioners
The Washington correspondent of New

saying that Secretary Lamar will probably be

strongly identified with the temperance cause
in Georgia, will be made Secretary of the In

THE POLITICAL FIELD.

JOHN I. MOORE, of Jackson, Ohio, was made
permanent Chairman of the Ohio State Prohi-
bition Convention, at Delaware, and 55l dele
gates were in attendance. The platform says
of the Dow liquor Jaw that ample trial has
shown that it was designed as a seeming con-
cession to temperance, while really putting
the cause at disadvantage. The labor plank
was opposed by Schumacher and others, and
the convention finally adopted plain denun-
citation of anarchy Woman suffrage was not
Endorsed. A full State ticket was placed in

The Fire Fiend's Work.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, June 27-Fire al
most swept the town of Marshield out
of existence this afternoon, and 1000
people are homeless. The loss is not
less than million. All communica-
ton by wire is cut off and it is almost
impossible to learn particulars. A
locomotive spark started at noon in
the lumber yard of the Upham Furni-
ture Factory, and rapidly developed
into a roaring fire, that spread
toward the town. insufficient fire
protection facilities prevented resist
ance to the flames, and soon several
factories and business blocks along Nam
Street and adjoining residences were
wrapped IN flames. People gathered
such household goods as they
could and fed to the woods. The heat
was so intense that $500 feet of the
Wisconsin Central track, which runs
through one end of the town, was bent
and twisted into most grotesque
shape. Travel cannot be resumed on
this account until tomorrow. A
special from Stevens Point and Chip
pewa Falls conveyed fire engines to the
place, but the fire was beyond control.

meagre accounts of it received come
from neighboring towns, whose hospi-
tality has been thrown open to the
1000 homeless inhabitants. But few
have availed themselves of it,
however, most of them being housed
for the night under wagons, rudely
constructed sheds, blankets and such
household furniture piled up as was
saved. The scene is a pitiable one.
Wearied men and depressed women are
watching the remnants of their homes
and possessions promiscuously scat

Still Probing the Wound.

OMAHA, June 27.-The Pacific investi-
eating commission resumed its session
to-day.
W. A. Paxton, leading stock yard
man testified as to lease given by the
Union Pacific, to a company in which
he was interested at Council Bluffs.
Having got an exclusive lease no other
stock yard company could compete
with him as long as it was in operation.
His company "got the best of the
transaction Witness did not know that
the Union Pacific had paid his COM
pany any rebates until Governor Patti
son showed him they had.
Leavitt Burnham, former land COM
missioner of the Union Pacific, testified
the policy of the company was to dis
pose of agricultural lands to settlers
and sell grazing lands in large sections.
The company patented the lands as
fast as they could be settled,
not before. This was to insure
air and honest utilization of the
taxes levied on communities when the
patents were taken out. There had
been considerable Stealing" as he
would call it, of money taken by local
authorities along the line from the COM
pany. One school district, in order to
get as much money as possible in taxa
ton from the company, was made
seventy-fve miles long.

had been employed by Thurston, Union
Pacific attorney, to look after railroad
legislation at Lincoln. The work of wit

were some employees of the Union
Pacific who were members OF the
Legislature, here. Mr.. Poppleton said
these members we're Knights of Labor.
John r. Manchester, claim agent of
the Union Pacific, had also been sent
to Lincoln by Thurston. He had OPP
posed one bill creating a commission
empowered to fix rates; he had never
used money, but had given probably 400
passes to members and friends. He saw
nothing wrong in this. All roads did it.
He did not know that the members
rendered any services in return.
JIM. Eddy, of Omaha, testified as to
the construction of the HALEY extern
sion on the Oregon Short Line. His
name was used by the Union
Pacific in consideration Of $1,000.
The contract was first made with the
Union Pacific, by which he v re-

Crooked Land Entries

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 81. "A special to
the Ne'Cs received at late hour on Satur-
day evening, says that Commissioner
of the Land Office Sparks had taken pre-
liminary steps to cancel the entries
made of tifty-five sections of land in
what is known as Goshen Hale, this
county, stirs up good sized sensation
here. The land in question was taken
up IN the interests of the Goshen Hale
Irrigation Company, the president of
which is Mr.. G. B. Goodell, of this
city, and also one of the officers of the
Union Cattle Company, of which
Mr.. Thomas Stargis is president.
The entries were made by seven per
sons living in Wyoming, and forty
eight living in New York, Massa-
chusetts and New Jersey. The action
of the Land Commissioner is based
upon reports of Special Agent Fry. Mr.
Sturgis Indignantly denies the state
ments set forth in this report, and char
acteriZes the item as false. He states
that work was commenced on these
bitches in 1888, and has been steadily
executed since, except in mid winter,
and has actually been distributed over
twenty miles in length in one ditch, and
fifteen to eighteen in another, and the
expenditure in the work of reclaim alton
during the past four years has
been over $3.50, 900. Several hundred
acres of alfalfa are growing upon the
lands on which the agent states that
bitches were not constructed to carry
water, and that the late Secretary of the
Interior was advised of the proposed
filing by foreign entrymen, as those
outside of the territory were styled,
and that the scheme, with all details
for the full reclamation of this immense
body of lands. has his full approval.
Mr.. Sturgis also adds that the attack
upon himself and his co.nt any in the
light of the above circumstances is of
che nature of Il personal and political
persecution. The present status of the
entries allows the entrymen another
hearing before the Cheyenne land
Office to show the cause why their
entries shall not be cancelled. and fail
ing, an appeal 10 tae Secretary of the
Interior for final decision.

The Retort of the Railways.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The Secretary
of the Interior has received answers
from ali Immigrant railroads named in
his rule dateds May Esd, requiring them
to show cause why the several orders
of withdrawal from settlement of lands
within their indemnity limits should
not be revoked and the lands embraced
therein restored to settlement.
The Atlantic & Pacific Company
claims it has not failed to give ample
noLlce of its indemnity rights and
claims5 the notice heretofore given al
ready shows that by the past and
present selection of all lands with
in its available indemnity limit
grant as earned, it is, deficient more than
1000 600 acres; that the contract be-
tween the United States and the At
lantlc d Pacific Company would be
seriously violated if, with a knowledge
of these facts, any revocation of exist
ing indemnity withdrawal is made or
other action taken tending to defeat,
impair or cloud the rights of the com
pany therein; that the delay in the
selection has arisen from the failure of
the United states to make a survey OF
the granted and indemnity lands, to
ascertain and settle the boundaries of
pending small land claims with
such certainty that the precise
acreage of loss therein can be de
termined, to permit settlers prior in
time to the railroad grants, to make
known their claims by proper descrip-
ton, and finally by its affirmative acts
in creating Indian and other reserva-
tions within the railroad grant, enlarg-
ing others therefore created and its
refusal TO permit surveys to be made on
the company's deposit of cost thereof.
Notwithstanding these difficulties, the
company states it has done all things
possible to identify its losses and make
its selections, and submits that neither
IN law. equity or good conscience, should
the existing withdrawal be rescinded.
The Oregon 81 California Railroad
Company, in its answer, represents that
the whole numbers of the old sections
contained within the indemnity limits of
its grant will fall, by 2S2, O0O acres. short
OF compromising it for its lands lost in
the place, and as a larger portion of
these lands have never been surveyed
so as to render it possible for the COM
pany to make selections of such lien
lands, it submits it would he a mani
fest injustice if the Eexisting orders of
withdrawal should not be revoked.

Yale scores a Victory.

LONDON, Conn, June 27.-The eighth
annual four-mile straightaway race
between eight-oar crews of Harvard
and Columbia was rowed this afternoon
on the Thames course, and proved to
be one of the most holly contested
races ever roWed. Both crews beat the
record of 81 minutes, 81 seconds made
bv Yale in 1884. The official time is:
Harvard, 1920; Columbia, 2025.
Ali conditions were favorable for fast
time. Both crews went away on a
squirt of SO strokes, Harvard catching
water first, and gradually drawing
ahead. At the first quarter, Harvard
had lead of the length OF boat. The
Columbians here pulled up and at half
mile was even teeth. Harvard then
showed a temporary Generalization
and Columbia drew ahead. Harvard
quickly recovered, however, and sent
the bow to the front just as they
passed the mile. The rowing, up to
this point. was phenomenal, the first
and second half being rowed in
2lOH and 2.11X respectively and
both crews were fifteen seconds
ahead of the record. After this the
strain seemed to tell on the Columbia,
and besides Stacking her stroke, her
coxsWain made an unfortunate sWerVe
from his course that lost the boat
length. She never caught Harvard
AGAIN. and the latter crossed the line
winner bv three lengths, defeating the
hest crew Columbia has ever had, and
heating the record by eleven seconds.
Columbia's time is two seconds better
than the previous record.

In the Commons.

LONDON, June 27.zIn the Commons
tonight, W. II. Smith, First Lord of
the Treasury, replying to Johnston,
said no proposal to establish diplomatic
relations between England and the
Vatican had ever been contemplated,
nor had any such proposal been made
to or by the government.
Smith announced that government
intended to proceed with the crimes
bill until it passed the report stage.
Robertson (LiberaD moved that new
clause be added to the bill, providing
that the act could be replaced by an
order in council. This, he said, would
prevent the House of Lords keeping
the act on the statute book in defiance
of the House of Commons.
Balfour. Chief Secretary for Ireland,
opposed the clause.
Morley moved that the duration of
the act be limited o three years. 1t was
the first time, he said, any government
had the shameful courage to perpetuate
coercion. This was the first govern
ment that cast to the wind the old
fashioned regard for liberty of the sub
ject and the doctrine, that exceptional
legislation should not last one day
longer than circumstances demanded.
Webster, Attorney-General, opposed
Morley's motion.
Gladstone urged the special charac-
ter of the bill was the reason for limit
ing its duration. Its enactment as a
permanent measure would aggravate-
the existing evils, intensity that alIeni-
alton and arrangement from law,
wherein law the fundamental evil of
Ireland's social condition.
Sir Wilfred Lawson, supporting the
amendment, said it was an honor to
America to send money to those fight

amendment was rejected.
